Joy is absolutely phenomenal. And the fact that she does cupping is a real plus. She’s intuitive and really focused on creating healing for your body. Thank you so so much. I’m so excited to have found her. Whoever gets massage by her is lucky indeed.
I recently moved to Oakland and decided to get back into a massage therapy routine after taking a break for a few years. I found Joy and booked her for a 90-minute deep tissue massage with hot stones—and let me tell you, my experience was nothing short of amazing.Joy has this incredible way of blending communication and intuition to hit all the right spots, knowing exactly where to apply pressure to unwind every bit of tension. Her technique? Stellar. And those hot stones? A game-changer. When I say I wish I could have this experience every week, Im not exaggerating.The space itself is welcoming, spacious, and filled with thoughtful amenities like lockers, showers, and personal care products, all adding to the feeling of a mini-retreat. But heres the thing that really hits home for me: safety. With a family member whos immunocompromised, feeling confident in a community space is a top priority. I left the session not just physically rejuvenated but emotionally uplifted as well—the kind of difference I could see in the mirror.Shes got some new offerings planned for her clients in the New Year, and Im here for it. If youre even remotely thinking about getting a massage, do yourself a favor and book with Joy. Like, now. Trust me, your body (and mind) will thank you!
I received a wonderful 90 minute postnatal massage from Joy! Id had to reschedule because my baby came early, and Joy was very responsive and flexible. She was thorough in asking about and addressing my areas of need and even made some helpful recommendations for modifying my activities to support my body. With adjusting to carrying the new baby I had a lot of neck pain, which she was able to help release. The massage itself was amazing, and I left feeling like a new person. Will be going back soon!
Joy is Amazing! I immediately relaxed soon as I walked in before my massage started. She took her time to understand what exactly I needed and she delivered! Aroma therapy and hot stones were the perfect added touch to her blessed hands.
I am so grateful I crossed paths with Joy during a womens event!Joy is professional, attentive & very good at what she does. She gave clear expectations & took the time to learn about me & my bodys needs beforhand. Her energy is great & she massages with a rhythmic intention that makes relaxation a breeze. The heated table & heat therapy included during the massage was an unexpected bonus.The space is pleasing and comfortable. All the amenities you need are provided. The ambiance takes you away from the hustle and bustle of Broadway & into relaxation mode with ease.Ill be adding her to my wellness routine, and so should YOU.
I never leave reviews but my experience here was just so amazing that I had to share. Joy is super caring and is a great listener, she made me feel really at ease and the whole experience was super relaxing. The space is also super beautiful, the photos really don’t do it justice.
Joy was fantastic. She was extremely calming and did well to listen to and concentrate on the areas I asked for. Would recommend for sure and had no reactions to the oils and lotion she used! The Flowhouse was also a beautiful space.
I loved Joy. I had really bad hip pain from pregnancy and Joy really worked out the knots. And showed me what tools to buy for home treatment! Her new home care massage tools worked great at helping me keep the kinks out in between massageappointments. super great prices
I visited Joy for a prenatal massage (currently at ~32 weeks). Ive been getting bodywork sessions with various therapists throughout my pregnancy and Joy has been by far the best therapist Ive seen so far. Her technique, both massage and sheeting, are extraordinary. She was very communicative and empathetic as we went through some of my challenges with my growing bump and changing body. And I left feeling super relaxed and detoxed. I cant wait to book with her again.
I was only in town for a few days, but I knew I needed a good massage before I left. Joy was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I booked a 90m massage with aromatherapy. Joy was kind, compassionate, and attentive. I left feeling much more relaxed and she also gave me a verbal “after-visit report” to help me to alleviate some of my recurring pain post visit.
Joy has an incredible and intuitive touch, I felt so relaxed and would highly recommend her massage as an ongoing aspect of anyones self-care or healing regimen. As an acupuncturist, Ive received a ton of bodywork, and I can tell from personal experience that Joy has true talent as a massage therapist.
My massage as a first time client with Joy was absolutely divine! She was warm and created a welcoming environment. The massage & cupping were the perfect mix of relaxing and pain relief. Only regret is that I cant schedule the next session sooner.
Had a great experience at this place! Was able to feel comfortable, clean, and safe during my massage! I will definitely be coming back for more treatment!!!
I’ve been receiving massage services from Joy since 2018. She is the first massage therapist that I have felt completely comfortable. Joy is experienced, kind, and supportive. She has a holistic approach that recognizes my full humanity and I always feel immediately better after seeing her.You deserve to feel whole and prioritize your wellness- Joy is the perfect person to help you with getting the support you need.
Joy is fantastic! I had a prenatal massage with her. It was heavenly. She is very skilled at what she does. Highly recommend!
What an amazing experience. I had a prenatal massage and it was a much needed treat. I wobbled in sore and anxious, left feeling very light and relaxed. Joy made this entire experience delightful
I had my session with Joy, and had the deep tissue massage—it was an amazing and relaxing experience. There was a private room, relaxing music and lighting, along with a variety of tools from gua sha, an electric massager, and good old fashioned massaging. I felt so relieved and Joy was happy to give advice on self-care and how to maintain bodily relief for aches. Would definitely recommend this for anyone who wants an easy and elevated introduction to massage therapy!
Joy is absolutely amazing! I was having the worst radiating pain through my shoulder and neck and had become unable to look over my left shoulder. She worked with me to identify the source of the pain, so we could eliminate the potential for re-injury. Then she created a healing plan for me! Over the course of 6 sessions, my mobility was restored! I return on a regular basis for “tune-ups” and just general self-care. I cannot sing her praises enough!
Joy provided an excellent experience! She is compassionate and truly cares about her clients. She sensed that my neck problem was urgent and fit me in short notice. She is extremely knowledgeable about muscle/ body problems, and spent a good amount of time asking questions and listening to me describe my neck pain before beginning my massage. She worked magic on my neck and I felt like a new person afterward!
This was the most intentional massage I have ever had. Joy did an amazing job answering all of my questions and setting expectations. The pressure was perfect and she continuously checked in with me to make sure I was okay.I will definitely be booking again with her soon!
Joy energy is amazing. I left her space feeling refreshed! Thank you joy.
Muv Massage should change the name to hands of Joy because every time I’ve gotten a massage I’ve felt like I’ve been touched by an Angel. I’ve been getting massage therapy for at least 5 years consistently and Joy is by far the best massage therapist I’ve ever had! Her facility is clean and tranquil! She really knows how to heal the body and release tension! I thank God every time for allowing Joy to bless me with her hands. God bless you Joy and thank you!!!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Joy is a pleasure to work with! She is attentive, super thoughtful and very good at getting rid of my knots and aches. I have been coming to her for years because she is the only person who can fix my back and shoulders. Highly recommend!
Joy is amazing, I got the deep tissue massage with the added heat therapy and it was like being wrapped in my own personal sauna. Thank You Joy
I had a great massage and I noticed the benefits the next day. I will come back and get a massage from Joy again. The ambiance is nice.
Joy is extremely knowledgeable of the interconnectedness of the body and is able to release tension and tightness and get to the root of the problem. She’s gentle and thorough and constantly checks in to ensure comfort.
My husband booked with Joy as a gift, she was very attentive and gave me a great massage! The hot towel she used on my back was a bonus.
After my massage, I left feeling relaxed and moisturized. I recommend getting the salt scrub, it helped with my dry skin from winter.
Joy is so wonderful. Her hands are healing. I always feel 100% better after my appointments with her.
Joy is kind, considerate, and gives a great massage! Highly recommend.
Amazing experience. Highly recommend booking appointment
Amazing massages. Very professional, and a touch like no other
Joy is an absolute joy to work with.
Special and spectacular
